Thermistors(2). ForThermocouple channels, the calibration scale suffix <n> is
ignored and may be omitted. Note:For PRT/Thermistor channels, the value re-
turned by this command is always in ohms.
ForPRT/Thermistor channels, specifying the MIN parameter returns a value of
-9 when the scalesuffix <n> is 1 (for PRTs) and -9000 when the scale suffix
<n> is 2 (for Thermistors).For Thermocouple channels, specifying the MIN
parameter returnsa value of -9. For PRT/Thermistor channels, specifying the
MAX parameter returns a valueof 9 when the scale suffix<n> is 1 (for PRTs)
and 9000 when the scalesuffix <n> is 2 (for Thermistors). For Thermocouple
channels, specifying the MAX parameter returns a valueof 9. Specifying the
DEF parameter returns a valueof 0 .
8.4.5.9 CALibrate<chn>:PARameter:SCALe<n> <num>|MIN|MAX|DEF
Sets the calibration scale parameter for the specified channel.
CAL1:PAR:SCAL22
The CALibratesuffix, <chn>, specifies the channel (1 to 4). This command
does notapply to memory channels. For PRT/Thermistor channels, the calibra-
tion scalesuffix <n> specifies the resistance range parameter (in ohms) for
PRTs(1) or Thermistors (2). For Thermocouple channels, the calibration scale
suffix <n> is ignored and may be omitted. The <num> parameter specifies the
valuefor the specified scale parameter. Specifying the MIN, MAX, or DEF pa-
rameter sets the scale parameter to the minimum, maximum, or default value
respectively.
This command is password-protected. Toaccess this command, the password
must besuccessfully entered u sing theSYST:PASS:CEN <pass> command
(see Section9.4.11, Password Commands).
8.4.5.10 CALibrate<chn>:PARameter:LINearity<n>? [MIN|MAX|DEF]
Returns the calibration linearity parameter for the specified channel.
CAL1:PAR:LIN1?
2.8
This command onlyapplies to PRT/Thermistor channels. Executing this com-
mand on Thermocouplechannels generates a -294, "Incompatible type" error
message.
The CALibratesuffix, <chn>, specifies the channel (1 to 4). This command
does notapply to memory channels. For PRT/Thermistor channels, the calibra-
tion linearity suffix,<n >, specifiesthe r esistance range parameter for PRTs(1)
or Thermistors(2). Note: ForPRT/Thermistor channels, the value returned by
this command is always in ohms.
Specifying the MIN parameter returns a value of -9 when the linearity suffix
<n> is1 (for PRTs) and -9000 when the linearity suffix <n> is 2 (for Thermis-
tors). Specifying the MAX parameter returns a value of 9 when the linearity
